Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:38:52 +0000http://outspokenmedia.com/?p=9636#comment-32832This is the best explanation of Quora and how to leverage it (and most fun blog post about it) that I’ve ever come across. I use it every now and then when exploring a particular topic. I really like the user interface. While I get quality answers from LinkedIn with professionals who I can later easily connect with (by adding as a connection), there is so much garbage on LinkedIn Answers (and don’t get me started with Yahoo!).

Sat, 19 Feb 2011 12:05:56 +0000http://outspokenmedia.com/?p=9636#comment-20613There can be no doubting the quality of content at Quora. That quality will, in my opinion, guarantee it a continuing role in it’s chosen space.

Which brings me to your concern, Jamie. No, and again IMHO, the market isn’t crowded. Segmentation allows space for everyone. It is simply a question of placing a value on your audience and the value – in community terms – they place on you. In fact, I’m betting the field today will look pretty empty when we look back two or three years from now.

My main concern around this and other new social (in my view) platforms is that there are too many new kids on the block appearing and I think we’re already close to saturation point.

There are only so many of these platforms businesses can spend time on every day and as people start to realise (yes I used the English spelling!) this, they will become more selective and a lot of these ‘bright young things’ will fall by the wayside. I’m not necessarily saying Quora will be one of them but there will come a point when people say enough is enough.

If you write to appeal to a pain point then it’s going to be a much for valuable (and shared) post than if you offer something that’s “oh this is nice to know” content. I guess I’m noisy on other social media platforms but on Quora I’m pretty much a lurker for right now, looking for ideas.

After a few hesitations at the beginning, I ended finding Quora very interesting with a rare high quality writings and a minimalist cool interface. I’m using it a lot and can’t wait for an official mobile app, now…
As you mentioned it, this have a to do with the work of Quora Staff who can keep spammers away and make a lot of efforts to bring a quality experience… but for how long ?
As long as I dont see a clear business model, this question will remain open and keep me a little bit skeptical about the future of this rich Q/A site.
